thank you george w. bush. he called it a rebate. this wasn't a rebate. you weren't overcharged for something. your child had not paid too much money in the government and therefore needed to get $300 back. it was just a check to you. please, spend it. it was a government hand out, not that there's anything wrong with that. this is political genius. at a very base level, dude's giving you hundreds of dollars for nothing. it kind of makes you like the guy. it was not as much genius as in political terms. political term this is is very smart. in policy terms it did have weakness. if you spend somebody a check for $600 or $1200, most people's instingts is not to take it to the bank, flip it over and get the money back in cash and spend it immediately. some people might do that. overall, most people, the instinct will be to deposit the check and not spend all of it at once. in terms of the whole economy, the point of doing the stimulus is you want people to spend the money you're sending them. you want them to spend all of it or as much of it as possible. sav

like george w. bush running for re-election. there's that ethically troubled history of gyration he had to go through and gyrations to get out of serving in vietnam and running against a legitimate vietnam war hero in 2004. what do the pro george w. bush forces do, they accuse the other guy, the war hero of having been ethically sketchy and coward in vietnam. i'm rubber, you're glue. you see the same thing going on the right now in the mitt romney campaign. he has said he's totally on board with the paul ryan kill medicare budget. mr. romney ran this mitt romney loves paul ryan ad which made it sort of look like paul ryan was the one running for president. i think it's even possible mitt romney could pick paul ryan to be his vice-presidential choice although i don't have much company in thinking that. mitt romney had a meeting in washington with paul ryan and happy to publicize that was happening. this all happens as paul ryan is rolling out his new budget which would dismantle medicare and end what we know as medicare and embra

george w. bush wrote "decision points." >> after the presidency, my life went from 100 miles an hour to zero, and the book gave me a focus and a project. >> reporter: it also gave him $7 million for the first million and a half copies. jimmy carter wrote 14 books. >> he was broke when he came out of the white house. if you can write or you can write with someone else, you can write a book and make a great deal of money. >> reporter: then there's "dreams for my father." president obama wrote it in his 30s. >> before this book started selling about four years ago, we were living in a condo, myself, michelle and our two girls, and we were -- we had two cars but one of them was kind of beat up. >> reporter: that book flew off shelves when he ran for president. the obamas went from middle class to wealthy and made several million dollars. but for the biggest payoff for not too much work, speeches are the way to go. and when it comes to ex-presidents, bill clinton is the reining king of the podium. >
